ODDFELLOWS’ ANNIVERSARY.
[TO THE EDITOR.]
By last Thursday issue of your valuable paper I see that the tender of Mr Chas. Young for supplying music for the Oddfellows Sports and Procession has been accepted by the Oddfellows’ Anniversary Committee. Now Sir, as Mr Chas. Young is a member of the said committee, and as I do not profess to know everything would you be so kind as to inform me if it is legal for a person on a committee to tender for work, his name being signed to the said tender ? Also can lie vote in favor of the tender himself being a committeeman, whether it be for the supply of music or anything else ?—I am, etc., An Oddfellow. [lf the committee referred to were acting for a public body, a member of it could certainly not tender for work ; neither could he participate in the profits of the same when completed. The committee in question is on a different footing but we think that it is unusual for a com-mittee-man to tender in his own name, and still more so to vote in favor of that tender. Interested persons usually leave the room on such occasions.]
